Cause
Configuration of firewall in incorrect
-
Resolution
netstat -a|grep 2100
irv1.2100 Idle
irv1.2100 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
irv1.40962 irv2.2100 0 0 50040 0
SYN_SENT
The above shows a problem. The SYN_SENT state should be resolved in less time than it takes to run netstat -a; the fact that it persists this long indicates that the SYN ACK is not being received. The most likely cause is a firewall issue.
Make sure the IP is added to the firewall and the shareplex port (2100 in this example) is open for 2-way communication.
